I received my B.S. degree from the University of Science and Technology of China
in 1998, and the Ph.D. degree in physics from the University
of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) in 2002. From 1999 to 2002, I was a
research assistant in the Beckman Institute at UIUC under the supervision of Prof. Karl Hess, where
my work was on the simulation of Vertical-Cavity Surface-Emitting Lasers
(VCSELs) based on a comprehensive laser diode simulator MINILASE. From 2003 to
2013, I worked firstly as a Research Associate and then as a Consulting
Associate Professor in Prof. Robert Dutton’s
Stanford TCAD group. My research
interests include the design and simulation of novel biosensors, digital/analog
electronic devices and optoelectronic devices such as LEDs and laser diodes.
The platform of my simulation work is a general Partial Differential Equation
solver, PROPHET. I also
enjoyed being a lecturer for Stanford undergrad course EE116
“Semiconductor Device Physics” from 2011 to 2013.
